So recently I was hired as a consultant to help some people get going. They set up a decent little lab in a 40 foot shipping container.
First thing that struck me was how nice of a set up they had going in the shipping container. I had often thought of setting up in a shipping container as a somewhat distasteful option.
Unfortunately my attention quickly turned to the 6 inch grow room fan they were using for exhaust and the fact that they were just using basic household receptacles and have run the wire along the side of the contianer and not even bothered to contain it in some sort pvc. Obviously it was not safe and made me slightly nervous. I stressed to them the issues with their set up however they were approaching $30,000 into their investment so I bit the bullet and did the training anyway.
now the time has come where I would like to do something similar but I would like to do it right. I already have acquired explosionproof fans etc but was wondering what you guys do as for wiring your area? Are you guys actually using class one electrical outlets? And then the next question would be if I am turning half the can into an extraction area and using the front half for post processing how important do you think it would be for me to Ensure that the front half of the can is class one compliant?
I have tried looking around And have not been able to find anything dedicated to showing off your lab space. I would hope this could be the place to start!!!
